SAFETY SHOES

Always wear safety shoes when working with hand pallet trucks.

PROTECTIVE GLASSES

When assembling or dismantling a hand pallet truck, protective
glasses must be worn to avoid personal injury.

OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

While operating a hand pallet truck, always wear safety equipment
and operate in a responsible manner to ensure a safe work area.

DELIVERY INSPECTION

Visually inspect hand pallet truck frame components and hydraulic unit for damage during
shipment by carrier. If damage is evident, notify delivering carrier immediately and file necessary
claims. Test the hand pallet truck pump for proper operation. If the hydraulic pump does not

respond to movement of the handle, an air lock may have developed during shipping. To
remedy this, go to the user friendly TROUBLESHOOTING guide in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

To raise the load, push down on
the fingertip control. Pump the
handle to raise the load from the
floor.

NOTE:

The neutral position disengages
the pump from the lifting
mechanism. This frees the handle,

which makes pulling loads easier.
To lower the load, pull up on the
fingertip control.

In addition, the pump is not

subject to shock pressures while

the truck is in motion.
For free handle movement, place

the fingertip control in the neutral
position.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

• Read and obey all labels on this product. If you have any questions about these, ask your
supervisor.

•Do not operate this hand pallet truck unless you are authorized and trained to do so.

• Never overload your hand pallet truck. Stay within its rated capacity.

•Do not operate this truck if damaged or not in proper working order.

• Distribute the load evenly on the forks. Do not concentrate loads at one point or load one fork
more than the other.

• When the load impairs visibility, the hand pallet lift truck should be pulled and not pushed.

• Always look where you are operating. Keep a clear view.

• Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.

• Never carry passengers.

• Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the frame assembly.

• Always yield right of way to pedestrians.

•Do not allow your hand pallet truck to drop from one level to another. Even a drop of 1 in.
(25 mm) more than doubles the effective load momentarily and results in a loading that can bend
or break components.

• Move loads only with the hand pallet truck in its lowest position.

• Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate the opportunity for load
shift.

• Use extreme care when rounding corners. Too fast a speed could cause a hand pallet lift truck to
tip. If loaded, the load could shift and fall.

• When not in use, fully lower the forks.

DAILY INSPECTION

At the start of your shift, check the items listed below. Report any malfunction or unsafe conditions
to your supervisor. Do not use this product until it is repaired.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION

All pivot points are equipped with permanently lubricated bushings and bearings. To increase
bearing life, it is recommended that a few drops of light machine oil be applied at each pivot point
every 6 months. The thrust plate is equipped with three grease fittings. Apply grease under normal
conditions every 6 months.

PUSH BAR LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT

If the forks do not rise evenly at the tips, or the roller levers begin to drag on the floor, the following
adjustment is necessary:

LCS80 MODEL

• Turn the hand pallet truck over so that the underside of the forks are accessible.

• Remove one split pin (PL-20269) with 3/16 in. punch.

• Remove pin (PL-20227) from bracket.

• Adjust eyebolts (PH-20226). Turn counterclockwise to raise fork tips and clockwise to lower
fork tips.

• Replace pin (PL-20227) through eyebolt and replace split pin (PL-20269).

• When adjusted properly, the forks should be 3-1/4 in. low height from ground level in the
lowered position.

MAINTENANCE (CONT.)

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Your hydraulic system is maintenance free. Do not add hydraulic oil unless there is, or has been, a
leak. Use Premium HVI hydraulic oil or equal. Other oils, fluids, or solvents may damage your
hydraulic system. If you suspect additional oil is required, follow these steps:

1. Check for and fix any possible oil leaks.

2. Lower the truck and load with 600 lbs. (approximate).

3. Pump the truck to its maximum lift height.

4. Measure the vertical height of the exposed piston (7535745) and refer to the chart below.

Distance (inches) 5-1/8 in. 4-3/4 in. 4-3/8 in. 4 in. 3-1/2 in. 3-1/8 in. 2-3/4 in. 2-3/8 in.

Oil to add (Fl. Oz.) 0 2.7 3.0 3.4 3.7 4.0 4.4 4.7

ADDING OIL (IF REQUIRED)

1. Place and secure the truck on its right side (release valve facing the floor).

2. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and extend the lift piston fully.

3. Remove screw (221586A) and add the amount of oil determined by the chart in step 4.

4. Reinstall screw (221586A) but do not tighten. Leave a 1/32 in. gap.

5. Pull up on the release lever (PL-40274BDM) and collapse the lift piston until oil starts to

ooze from the screw.

CAUTION! - It is extremely important that step 5 is performed. Otherwise, air in
the pump can force out the wiper seal (20066). Take care when adding oil not to
introduce impurities into the hydraulic system.

6. Tighten the screw (221586A) fully and return the truck upright.
